As health minister, Supari strongly believed that the US Naval Medical Research Unit Two (NAMRU-2) operation in Indonesia should be halted, under the suspicion that it also performed intelligence activity on behalf of the US government, to gather information and resources that could be used in biological warfare (especially those related to [[avian influenza virus]).[1]
On 16 June 2017, Supari was convicted of corruption and sentenced to four years in jail.[2]
